Yes, and if you have any port installed options it can be even a longer wait. M Sport Suspension for me, so we’ll see!!

Congrats!!! What state are you in? I’m in Illinois and the dealership called me snd told me tomorrow November 14th. My salesman told me usually the day before or after the target date. So if yours is at the dealership and you’re close to Illinois, then I am anticipate which day mine will roll off the truck.

I’m in WV and am still showing “at the port.” I’m sure it has to do with what all the dealership has ordered. The wait sucks though when it’s this close. lol

Hopefully my car shows up before the intake and exhaust tips I ordered today. 😬

[azrrob]

The tracking status says "at the dealership". No call yet from dealer.
Hope to get over there tomorrow to inspect the "tire and cooling package" lol.

order went in 7/19/24 so 3 months & 3 weeks.

I'm in Virginia. I could've picked it up today (13th), but I just had the driveway sealed, so I needed one more day for it to cure. I'm picking the car up tomorrow after 3:00PM!!! Can't wait!

Sweet!!
Yes mine was delivered tonight as well. They will prep it tomorrow…but I was able to make 3 quick observations.
1. The M Sport Adjustable Suspension really makes the car look low. . 10mm drop makes a huge difference.
2. I have Yokohama tires.
3. The oil cooler had no extra protection covering it.

I will go first thing in the morning.
Have fun tomorrow seeing your “Ultimate Driving Machine”

Saw multiple people say that their HAS came set on full low from the port. Just something to check.

Newbie here. What exactly is HAS?

On the M2 the M performance height adjustable springs (HAS) are an available port installed option. Not available on the M240 as far as I know.

I'm not sure what the option cost is but I believe it is better from a warranty/support standpoint than putting them on yourself. I got a quote for lowering springs install with alignment for $1500! I will DIY instead, already got the neccessary BMW specific tools.

My car is on the truck to the dealer!!!! 7 weeks woweeee

Damn, that's quick. Everything was going quick for me too but I've been stuck in "final assembly" for over a week now. Where did the truck start from?

Port Jersey, I guess the dealer was right on target when they expected delivery on Saturday (when I asked last week)

Just curious, did they give you an estimated time of delivery after you placed the order at HC? I was told to expect 12-16 weeks. Stuck in final assembly right now.

I think our cars were on the same boat. My car is currently at the VPC at the post in Newark.

Did you have an port installed accessories? Going crazy waiting for this thing lol.

They said the same thing to me but I dont think they know.

The app does not update reliably. My car was on the boat for days before it got flipped to in tranist. I also called them during my car being seemingly stuck at final assembly and there is a ghost step in between where it gets "handed off to sales" whatever that means. There is also no status for when it is in transport to the port in mexico from the factory.

Seems like everything is moving quickly, for you I would hope you are on a similar schedule to the 3 or 4 of us now recently who had their cars in less than 8 weeks from production beginning.

Really good deal for the kit, Basically the cost of HAS springs and the cost of labor at a good shop. Probably cheaper than the dealer would charge if they installed them.
